2. Sanath Jayasuriya
If you watched cricket in the 1990s, you would know how devastating a batsman Sanath Jayasuriya was. In many ways, he revolutionised batting in the first powerplay in ODI cricket. His only motive was to find the boundary rope with great regularity to put Sri Lanka in the driving seat. It didn’t matter to him what was the situation of the match if the ball was in his half it ultimately was hit for a four.
He played 445 ODI matches which are the second most in ODI cricket history. Even when it came to hitting fours he is placed in the second place with exactly 1500 fours. Jayasuriya, on his day, could dominate any bowler and dictate where he was going to score a boundary in the next ball.
